Making FIREWORKS in Tears of the Kingdom

Happy new year! This video is a gem!

[@MsTwirlyGirly1]

You're brilliant. Every one of your videos is like a movie; all the elements come together perfectly to tell the story. Thank you so much for using your many talents and time to bring us such wonderful content! Happy New Year to you as well!

No bigger flex in Hyrule than to casually use all your star fragments on a firework

[@Luna_bunny_y]

Yep, my heart feel joyful and painful at the same time when I saw all those star fragments gone

[@staceyjordan2001]

literally the coolest thing ever seen in totk and these fireworks won't scare the poor doggos

[@richardmahn7589]

We can't pet the dogs to calm them down, dang you devs, so glad it won't scare them. I'd still set them off away from a straw-horse stable if I were you though. haha.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

@@richardmahn7589 Yeah IRL one of the reasons a friend of mine gets those silent fireworks is because he doesnt want to deal with his dogs going nuts due to the fireworks.

[@farhaanj4330]

Love the opening shots of Link on the wagon with the fireworks. It's giving Gandalf at the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring :)

[@carleetodd4324]

Didn't even realize, but that's exactly what that did for me too! Total nostalgia kick, right off the get-go.

[@MonsterMaze]

Thanks a bunch! This game allows for a lot of creativity!

[@PHO3N1X_28]

@@MonsterMaze massive props for making such great content this year. Cant wait to see you smash it in 2024! We're all behind you bro!

[@KokiriTheory]

So cool!! Seeing the fireworks over the castle reminded me of Disney World haha! 😂 HNY everyone!!

[@MonsterMaze]

It is straight up Disney, isn't it xD

[@dashmaster_sav098]

same

[@josephmullins4133]

Lol! Same! It's as if the castle was actually similar to the Disney World/Land castle.

[@KaneAsIAm]

Oh yeah. First thought when I saw the castle was Disney Land.

[@davve346]

Incredible, star fragment was by far the most realistic, would have loved to see multiple star fragment ones at once

[@brawlstar1748]

That shit was like watching the Dragonballs disperse, 10/10

[@kikosawa]

I liked chuchu jellies more

[@minecrafter3448]

This is the first time I’ve seen someone that seems to grasp what this game can REALLY do. Beyond mechs and zero energy flying machines, with purely intended mechanics you can make some truly beautiful things

[@minecraftchickenmen]

I can tell you put in a LOT of work for this outcome and I just want to say it pays off this was legitimately very beautiful. Happy new year

[@PunsandPixels]

What an amazing video to end the new year! This guy makes the most creative videos. The bokoblin doc is still one of my top botw videos, this is now my fave totk video

[@Nathan-88-Sithari]

Anything is possible with Tears of the Kingdom. Happy New Year

[@RevaliHeeHo]

Except a good story.

[@Zoltloz0_0]

​@@RevaliHeeHo the story is good but the story telling that's the not so good part

[@richardmahn7589]

So now petting dogs is possible? How come I don't have this fix????

[@superl8296]

@@RevaliHeeHo i get the take and i agree, but man do you gotta bring down someone elses fun by being negative randomly? When this person said "anything is possible" it wasnt an objective fact waiting to be proved or disproved, it was just a way of complimenting the video and the game. This video was awesome and its great that the game made something like this possible. We dont need to mention unrelated shortcomings anytime someone gives it a compliment

[@mr.awesome6011]

​@RevaliHeeHo The story is good in these games. They're just not structured in a linear manner to match the open ended game feel. I can feel off as a result I get it but it's still a fun ride.

[@A-RonHubbard]

Watching this makes me so happy to be alive! This is an incredible feat of engineering - all the way around. Happy new year Don and everyone! It will be a great year. See you all in Hyrule!

[@AzurePip]

It's so impressive how creative people can be in TotK when it comes to the crazy Zonai contraptions that can be made. I'm saddened by the likely truth that we will not see such abilities return in future Zelda games. 😥 All the same, Happy New Year 2024, Don! 🎉 🎉

[@SchrollShepard]

Don't be sad because we won't see it again. Be happy that we got to experience it, and that we'll get to experience new abilities/mechanics in the future.

[@mh6276]

@@SchrollShepard We will have similar stuff in the future because the physics took so long to refine that they won't just abandon all their hard work.

This deserves way more than 3.8K views (at the moment). Amazingly creative and props to all people like you who think of such innovative and fun ways to play what's only meant to be an adventure game

[@brightya]

I watch Totk videos everyday, this video was not recommended to me but found by myself. KZbin algorithm sucks.

[@netweed09]

Wow, this is one of those videos that you truly actually remember. Unlike all those "algorithmically fashionable" Totk 'critique' (ahem, read hateathon) videos that trended later towards last year that just all droned on about the same boring things. The effort and inspiration that must have gone into this despite its shorter length is only of one who is a proper Zelda fan. ^ ^ Happy New Year! 🎉

[@thegreenthunder5416]

This is what I imagine happened after they defeated Ganon. That’s so cool,, dude!

This video is unbelievable! You did such an amazing job putting this together! I showed this video to my kids as their new year video before putting them down for bed! We've watched so many of your videos together the past several years and I hope the name "Monster Maze" is a name that they will remember when they are older just like I remember playing OOT as a child. Thank you for all of the memories this year (and past years) and the best of luck to you in the years to come!

The best part is that these fireworks are emergent gsmeplay that look and works like actual fireworks.

[@davidborned]

Nah this is actually insane! I thought I had seen everything you could make in this game, and I thought I knew the potential, but then this video shows up in my recommendations and shows me that fireworks, something I never would’ve thought of, are very possible in this game. A youtuber I follow called Ultrahand the most innovative game mechanic since Portal Gun in 2007, and it’s hard to argue against that when I see this video… this was truly incredible to watch!
